Second Reflection- Lisa Illés

During my time at the Academy today I have learned several things about both science and video production. We went over some of the basic types of video shots (locked-off, pan/scan, boom, push, pull, and zoom), and recorded one of each kind. I hadn't known that push/pull shots were almost the same thing as a zoom shot, which is good to know.
We also went to the Bone Lab today, where they prepare deceased animals for their (huge) specimen collection. I was really excited to be there, because I didn't even know the Academy had a preparation lab. I also found out that the Bone Lab sometimes takes volunteers, and I would really really love to work there at some point. It sound so fun!
